The University provides a well-rounded education, enabling students to gain the knowledge and skills needed for self-fulfilling, responsible citizenship and employability in a rapidly changing global environment. The University concentrates its energies and resources on its students, many of whom are the first generation of their families to attend college, adults returning to college or enrolling in higher education for the first time, and transfer students from community and technical colleges. The University, therefore, offers its diverse student body a wide range of programs, flexible scheduling, and support services, all designed to foster success in the modern world. To strengthen intellectual development, all students pursuing a degree at Fairmont State University are engaged in a General Studies program, a body of coursework designed to expand their knowledge of civilization, society, scientific inquiry, and artistic expression while preparing them to think critically and communicate clearly. Through these studies, students also explore the interrelationships among disciplines and prepare for a lifetime of learning. The University is committed to student learning and focuses its resources on programs that prepare students for careers and advanced education in West Virginia and beyond. Along with its significant history of teacher education, Fairmont State University provides a broad spectrum of degree options in business, fine and liberal arts, and social and natural sciences and offers programs with specialized accreditation in engineering technology

Fairmont State University considers its broad objective to be the education of its students as intelligent and productive persons, capable of participating in and understanding the world of the twenty-first century.

providing financial support to those who need it to gain equal access to higher education; • Relating the breadth of the curriculum to the availability of appropriate employment opportunities and the needs of business, industrial and public service agencies in the University‘s service area; • Offering continuing education programs to provide career enhancement, cultural enrichment, and personal skill development; • Providing advisory, counseling, and placement services to enable students to make satisfactory decisions about academic and personal problems and to make successful career and employment choices; • Offering a variety of cultural, recreational, and social activities to complement academic pursuits.

ABOUT FAIRMONT STATE UNIVERSITY Located on a 120-acre main campus in the City of Fairmont, Fairmont State University‘s roots reach back to the formation of public education in the state of West Virginia. The first private normal school in West Virginia was established to train teachers in Fairmont in 1865 by John N. Boyd, the school‘s first principal.


For more than 150 years, the University has experienced many changes in name – from the West Virginia Normal School at Fairmont, to the Fairmont State Normal School in the 1870s, to Fairmont State Teachers College in 1931, to Fairmont State College in 1944, to Fairmont State University in 2004. These changes indicate an ongoing expansion of programs and purpose. In 1923, the Fairmont State Normal School first offered a four-year bachelor‘s degree program in education, making the school a college. Today FSU offers more than 80 baccalaureate degrees in business, education, science, engineering technology, fine arts, liberal arts, and nursing. Graduate programs have been developed in architecture, education, business, and criminal justice. The campus is also home to the Frank and Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center. The University‘s changes in location in Fairmont also reflect its continued growth. On February 27, 1867, the normal school became a state institution. Construction began on a brick building on the northwest corner of Adams and Quincy streets later that year. In 1893, the school moved into a new building on Second Street and Fairmont Avenue. In early 1917, the Fairmont State Normal School moved to the building now called Hardway Hall, which sits on a hill overlooking Locust Avenue. From that single columned building on a hill that was once part of a dairy farm, the University‘s campus has expanded to include more than 23 buildings. Over the recent decades, new construction, including a new student center, parking garage, five housing facilities, and an academic building, as well as major improvements in infrastructure, have greatly impacted the accessibility and beauty of campus. FSU features two locations in Harrison County, the Gaston Caperton Center in Clarksburg and the Robert C. Byrd National Aerospace Education Center in Bridgeport. FSU continues to look for ways to reach beyond the borders of West Virginia and the nation to build relationships. From its first officially recorded enrollment of 30 students in 1868, FSU has grown to be one of the state‘s largest universities with an enrollment of about 4,100 students. The first student, Hyre D. Clark of Buckhannon, graduated from the normal school in 1872. Today, FSU has an alumni network of more than 29,000 proud Falcons.

GASTON CAPERTON CENTER The Gaston Caperton Center is a satellite campus located at 501 W. Main Street in downtown Clarksburg. Clarksburg, the seat of Harrison County, is approximately 23 miles from Fairmont. The Gaston Caperton Center serves as a site for delivery of a wide variety of courses for students enrolled in Fairmont State University. The Center is open from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Center is closed on Saturday. Students can complete the General Studies requirements for Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees and most course requirements for the B.S. in Business Administration with an emphasis in General Business. In addition, most of the business common core for all baccalaureate business degrees may be completed at the Caperton Center. The Center comprises a 36,000 square foot, state-of-theart building boasting the latest in computer connectivity, modern classrooms, computer and natural science labs,


ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Fairmont State Alumni Association, founded in 1873, is the official organization representing graduates of Fairmont State (including Fairmont State Normal School, Fairmont State Teachers College, Fairmont State College, Fairmont State University). The Association is led by an elected, unpaid, volunteer Board consisting of graduates of Fairmont State. The purpose of the Fairmont State Alumni Association is to unite its members in an effective organization dedicated to the advancement of Fairmont State: a. strengthening the relationship between the alumni and Fairmont State through effective communication and collaboration about current programs, activities, and needs; b. perpetuating and strengthening the bonds of loyalty and friendship among alumni; c. supporting Fairmont State-sponsored activities, on and off-campus, that enrich the life of the institution, its students and community, as well as provide incentive for participation;

d. representing the interests of alumni to the institution, by providing information and making recommendations for action; e. assisting the institution, its student body and alumni members with vocational guidance and job placement; f. taking such other action as may be deemed appropriate for the advancement of the institution and the Association.

CATALOG POLICY It is the responsibility of students to be knowledgeable of official FSU policies and to meet all requirements in the Catalog. It provides the best possible current information on practices and academic policies of the institution. FSU does however, reserve the right to change provisions or requirements at any time to reflect curricular changes and/ or administrative regulations and procedures. The Catalog is not considered a binding contract between the student and the institution; it is for informational purposes only. Students should keep informed of current degree, curriculum and course requirements. Academic advisors and appropriate administrative offices of FSU may be consulted for further information or guidance. A student who enrolls at FSU shall follow the degree provisions of the catalog in use at the time of admission or any subsequent catalog, providing the entire subsequent catalog is adopted. A student who changes degree programs or majors while enrolled at FSU may follow the degree provisions of the catalog in use at the time of admission or any subsequent catalog, providing the entire catalog is adopted. Because curricular changes frequently occur in subsequent catalogs, the student should consult with an advisor in the new degree program or major for assistance in determining which catalog to adopt. Students who have interrupted their schooling for two or more regular academic semesters (not including summer) will be readmitted under the most current catalog and degree requirements. Please note that academic policies can change each year and apply to all students regardless of when they began their studies. Please refer to the current catalog for the most recent academic policies and procedures.

Fairmont State University neither affiliates knowingly with nor grants recognition to any individual, group, or organization having policies that discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression/association, national origin, age, height, weight, religion, creed, genetic information, disability or veteran‘s status, as identified and defined by law in employment, admissions, and educational programs and activities.

SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, students with disabilities are due reasonable accommodations in their academic pursuits. A student‘s disability should not unfairly interfere with his or her learning process or evaluation and grading. The primary mission of the Fairmont State University Disability Services Office (DSO) is to provide leadership and facilitate equal access to all institutional opportunities for students who have disabilities, so they may achieve their academic, personal, and professional goals in preparation for responsible citizenship. DSO provides institutionwide advisement, consultation, and training on disabilityrelated topics, including legal and regulatory compliance, universal design, and disability scholarship. We identify and work to remove barriers to foster an all-inclusive campus, and provide individual services and facilitate academic accommodations to students with disabilities. Our staff collaborates with students, instructors, staff, and community members to create diverse learning environments that are usable, equitable, inclusive and sustainable by: • Advocating for students with disabilities to have access to the same level of service from campus offices as is available to non-disabled students and to receive from DSO only those services not provided elsewhere by the institution. • Fostering the development of a campus culture that values the diversity of disability and that values disability as a core component of diversity. • Encouraging the design of campus environments that welcome students with disabilities and advocating for inclusion of a commitment across institutional departments. Through guidance and technical assistance to the institution on disability-related laws and regulations, DSO fosters academic experiences that are as similar as possible to the experiences of non-disabled students by: • Providing guidance, advice, and technical assistance that informs and enables the institution to meet applicable laws and regulations. • Apprising key administrators of emerging issues relative to disability and access that may impact the institution. • Ensuring that students with disabilities receive reasonable and appropriate accommodations, aids, and services to have equal access to all institutional programs, services, and activities. • Collaborating with others across the institution in ways that benefit students. • Providing guidance to faculty members in providing reasonable and effective accommodations, and by consultation and training for faculty members on disability related topics. The Disability Services Office is located in 316 Turley Student Services Center and can be reached at (304) 333-


THE FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) provides students with the right to inspect and review information contained in their educational records, to challenge the contents of their educational records, to have a hearing if the outcome of the challenge is unsatisfactory, and to submit explanatory statements for inclusion in their files if they feel the decisions of the hearing panels are unacceptable. Students wishing to review their educational records must contact the campus official in charge of the office in which the records are located. Students may not inspect records to which they have waived their rights of inspection and review. Within the FSU community, only those members, individually or collectively, acting in the student‘s educational interest are allowed access to student education records. These members include personnel in the offices of Admissions and Records, Student Services, Financial Aid, Business, academic colleges and schools, departments, academic advisors, and athletic departments. These school officials have a legitimate educational interest in the student‘s education record if the school official requires such information to: fulfill his or her responsibility or duty to the University; perform tasks within the scope of his or her employment or within the scope of a contract with the University; perform a task related to a student‘s education; perform a task related to the discipline of a student; provide a service or benefit relating to the student or student‘s family, such as health care, counseling, job placement, pastoral counseling, or financial aid; or maintain the safety and security of the campus. At its discretion, the institution may provide Directory Information in accordance with the provisions of the Act to include: student name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, major field of study, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, and weight and height of members of athletic teams. Students may withhold directory information by notifying the Student Services Center in writing. FSU may disclose academic information to parents of students by having parents establish the student‘s dependency as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, Section 152. Dependency status may be established by the presentation of a certified copy of the parents‘ most recent federal income tax form listing the student as a dependent.

DRUG-FREE AWARENESS PROGRAM In compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, Fairmont State University has a Drug-Free Awareness Program designed to prevent the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees. Further inquiries arising

from employment issues or concerns may be directed to the Assistant Vice President of Human Resources; student issues or concerns may be directed to the Vice President for Student Services.

COMPLIANCE WITH MILITARY SELECTIVE SERVICE ACT State law provides that a male person who has attained the age of eighteen (18) years may not enroll in a statesupported institution of postsecondary education unless he is in compliance with the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S. Code, Appendix 451, et seq. and the amendments thereto). Also, a male person may not receive a loan, grant, scholarship, or other financial assistance for postsecondary higher education funded by state revenue, including federal funds or gifts and grants accepted by this state, or receive a student loan guaranteed by the State unless he is in compliance with the Military Selective Service Act. Selective Service Act registration information should be available at all United States Postal Service facilities and may be available at some high schools.

EXPENSES AND FINANCIAL AID

16 / Expenses and Financial Aid


Expenses and Financial Aid PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES Registration is not completed until full payment of tuition, residence hall rent, board and fees has cleared. A late payment charge of $50 will be assessed on the first day of the term; a $15 charge will be assessed on each check returned by bank for ‘insufficient funds‘. Enrollment Services shall declare the fees unpaid and registration canceled until the check has been redeemed and the additional charge paid. Student records will not be released by the Enrollment Services for any student who had a delinquent financial obligation to Fairmont State University or Pierpont Community and Technical College. Students attending FSU are offered an alternative to payment in full at the time of registration. This payment plan is known as the Financial Installment Plan Service, or FIPS. This allows students to pay their balance in four monthly payments. The first payment is due on the 15th of the month prior to the start of the semester. There is a $15.00 enrollment fee assessed when signing up for FIPS. If payment is not received before the due date each month, a $25 late fee will be added to the account. Fees can be paid with Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card. Students receiving financial aid must apply 100 percent of their aid prior to FIPS payments. All outstanding amounts resulting from nonpayment of tuition and fees are the responsibility of the student. Withdrawal from school, officially or unofficially, will not cancel any financial obligation already incurred. Additionally, failure to pay all financial obligations may result in debts being turned over to a collection agency. NOTE: The term “resident“ refers to classification for fee purposes only. See end of this section for resident classifications. All tuition and fees are subject to change. Please see our homepage for the most current tuition and fee information. From the main home page under Quick Links, select Student Services/ Enrollment Center, next select Student Accounts, then Tuition and Fees to locate this information. Billing information, reminders and important notices are sent to each student‘s institutional e-mail address. Paper bills are not sent to the student‘s address.

Any unused portion of the remaining refundable Flat Fee funds will be returned upon request, providing the request is submitted before the 1-yr anniversary of the start of the course. Additional costs (approximately $825 per course) are estimated for the FAA written exam, flight test rental and examiner fees. These fees are separate and must be paid by the student at the time of the FAA exams. Students are responsible for purchasing their own headset, the cost for which is not included in any of the totals above. Each of the courses is also assessed the standard tuition and fees by Fairmont State University. All fees are to be paid in full at the beginning of the semester or paid through an approved payment plan. A list of possible lenders is available in the Financial Aid Office. Students must have Flat Fee funds on account before any flight lessons will take place. If all of the flight lessons for a course are not completed within one semester and a grade of “Incomplete” is awarded, then the lessons may continue into the next semester. All flight training must be completed within one year from the start of the course. After one year without successful completion, the student will receive a failing grade. If the student still wishes to continue in the flight program, then the course must be retaken and a new fee will be assessed. Please note that the FAA and our program places restrictions on how much time may lapse between flight lessons without needing to repeat some of those lessons – check with the flight instructor or Chief for more information. Students must complete one flight lab course before enrolling in the next one. As of August 1, 2017, and until further notice, VA funding may be available for the flight training costs associated with the Private Pilot License. Please consult with the VA Certifying Agent at FSU for the most current information available.

REFUND POLICY FOR TUITION AND FEES A student who completely withdraws from the institution may arrange for a refund of fees, excluding special fees, in accordance with the following schedule.

Financial Aid Financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, and employment is available to students who need assistance in meeting their higher education expenses and who meet program criteria. All funds are administered by the Financial Aid and Scholarships Department in compliance with federal, state, and institutional guidelines.

NEED-BASED AID FSU‘s primary purpose in awarding financial aid is to assist those students who wish to attend college and need financial assistance to do so. Financial need is defined as the difference between the “cost of attendance“ and “estimated family contribution“. Cost of attendance (COA) is a comprehensive figure including estimated tuition/ fees, room/board, books/supplies and other educationally related expenses. Estimated family contribution (EFC) is a measurement of the family‘s financial strength and is based upon information provided in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). By using the available resources, FSU attempts to meet the financial need of all students.

SCHOLARSHIP AID It is the intent of FSU to foster the highest degree of scholarship among its students. The institution actively recruits students who have excellent academic records and recognize and reward those who continue to excel. The objective of the scholarship program is to promote the recruitment and retention of a diverse student body with special talents and abilities. A variety of merit and needbased scholarships have been developed to accomplish this objective. FSU is ultimately responsible for final approval of scholarship programs and related policies and procedures and elicits recommendations from academic departments in that process. The Fairmont State Foundation, Inc., through the auspices of the Fairmont State Foundation‘s Scholarship Committee, collaborates with the Offices of Admissions and Financial Aid and Scholarships to explore

new areas of scholarship development and expansion, and assist those interested in establishing new merit-based scholarships or enhancing currently established scholarship programs for FSU. FSU‘s Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships also manages the disbursement of scholarships for a wide range of externally funded programs received by FSU students.

SOURCES OF FINANCIAL AID All sources and types of financial aid offered by FSU as well as other non-FSU aid resources are available on the homepage at http://fairmontstate.edu/finaid/.

DEFINITION OF AN ACADEMIC YEAR The academic year is considered to begin with fall semester, continues with spring semester and concludes with summer.

PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING FINANCIAL AID 1. Students must be admitted to Fairmont State University as a regular degree seeking student. 2. For full consideration of need-based aid, students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the federal processing center by March 1. Students who miss that recommended filing date can submit after that time but funds may be limited. The FAFSA must be submitted annually. 3. For scholarships awarded through FSU‘s Admissions and Financial Aid Office, students must apply for admission to FSU by February 2. For scholarships awarded through FSU‘s Schools and Departments, refer to the website for application requirements, deadline dates, and additional information. 4. Students interested in aid for summer must complete a separate application, available in March.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS FOR FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID To receive funds administered by the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office, students must be making satisfactory academic progress (SAP) toward completion of an eligible degree or certificate. Federal regulations require evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative academic progress. For purposes of financial aid and eligibility, academic progress is reviewed at the end of each academic year. This review will occur at the conclusion of the spring semester. All students enrolling for the first time (including transfers) will be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress. The standards of Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress are:

Must meet the following Cumulative GPA: 3.00 QUANTITATIVE PROGRESS Pace of Progress and Maximum Time Frame a) Pace: Pace is defined as the rate at which attempted academic credits are successfully completed. This is calculated by taking the cumulative number of hours successfully completed and dividing by the cumulative number of hours attempted. (Note: Grades of “W“, ‘F‘ and ‘I‘ count as attempted hours. All transfer hours accepted by the institutionare included.) Students must successfully complete 67% of all hours attempted. The calculation will be rounded to the closest whole number and applies to the graduate programs as well. b) Maximum Time Frame: A student must complete his/ her program of study within 150% of the number of hours required for the degree objective. Repeated course work and transfer hours accepted by the institution are included. The maximum time for each level is listed below. • Associate program of 60 hours--90 attempted hours. • Baccalaureate program of 120 hours--180 attempted hours. • Post-graduate work (credits taken after first obtaining degree including pursuit of second associate degree, second bachelor degree and/or teacher certification) must be completed within 60 credit hours. Since all classes attempted will count toward the 60-hour limit, students should meet with their academic advisor to determine what classes are required for completion of the second degree. A student who completes the academic requirements for a program but does not yet have the degree or certificate conferred is no longer eligible for federal financial aid for that program. Financial aid eligibility is limited to no more than two associate degrees, two baccalaureate degrees, and two master‘s degrees (based upon status in student information system, BANNER). Students who wish to pursue additional degrees beyond these may do so, but without federal financial assistance. FAILURE TO MEET STANDARDS OF FINANCIAL AID SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS Students who fail to meet the qualitative or quantitative standards defined above at the end of the spring semester will be “suspendedÈ from further financial aid eligibility, effective with the next enrollment period. If the student can meet the qualitative and quantitative standards as defined





anytime during the next academic year, aid can be reinstated by making a request to the Financial Aid Office for a review of their academic standing. Students will be notified by postal mail and email of SAP status after grades are posted. SAP status can be viewed on the student‘s FELiX account. APPEALS PROCESS A student may appeal the loss of financial aid through the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office. To appeal, the student must have experienced extenuating circumstances beyond their control which impacted academic progress. Examples of extenuating circumstances are death of an immediate family member, injury, illness, or other unusual circumstances presented to the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. The appeal must include the following: a. Why the student failed to make Satisfactory Academic Progress.


institutional charges, such as:tuition, fees, room/board, and books. Once the student meets the standards of financial aid satisfactory academic progress, the student may again receive consideration for financial aid.

ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS & FINANCIAL AID Candidates for academic forgiveness may receive financial assistance during the readmission semester if under financial aid probation or an academic plan. If the student does not meet the defined financial aid standards of SAP or the academic plan that was developed for the appeal at the time of review, the student‘s financial aid will be suspended as dictated by the SAP policy. REPEATING COURSES

b. What has now changed that will allow the student to make satisfactory academic progress at the end of the next semester (statements of good intention are not sufficient).

Students who repeat a previously passed class may have limitations on financial aid eligibility for that class.

c. Student‘s academic plan that will allow the student to reach the minimum requirements for SAP. The academic plan must include the next semester‘s classes. Students must meet with academic advisor to discuss the academic plan.

Federal student aid cannot be awarded for courses that are not applicable to degree objective. Examples include non-credit courses, audited courses, and English-asSecond Language (ESL) courses that are not part of an ESL program.

d. Documentation to verify the extenuating circumstances. If the appeal is granted, the student will be placed on financial aid probation for one semester and may receive aid during this probation semester. At the end of the probation semester, student must a. meet the defined SAP standards or b. meet the academic plan that was developed for the appeal. Appeals must be submitted by the deadline date established for each semester, generally 2 weeks prior to the start of the semester. Deadline dates will be published on the SAP Appeal form. Late appeals will not be accepted. Students who wish to enroll after the deadline should make plans to pay all charges through personal means. Appeals will be reviewed by the following and in the following order: • Financial Aid Appeals Committee • Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships • Faculty Senate Financial Aid Appeals Committee. This committee will meet one time during the week prior to the start of the Fall and Spring Semesters. Denial of an appeal by the Financial Aid Director for the Summer Semester is final. Students are limited to one appeal per level of review and one appeal per semester. Financial Aid eligibility can be re-established once the student meets SAP standards. Students who have lost eligibility for financial aid but have not been academically suspended from FSU may continue to enroll in courses. Students are responsible for all

NONSTANDARD COURSES

TITLE IV FINANCIAL AID RETURN OF AID POLICY If a student withdraws from school whether officially (he/she completes the withdrawal form or drops all classes on the web) or unofficially (student stops attending classes) and has been awarded and/or paid Title IV Federal Aid, the student is subject to a Return of Title IV Aid calculation. This calculation determines how much aid must be returned to the federal programs in the event of a complete official or unofficial withdrawal prior to completing 60% of the term (see example below). The calculation determines the amount of federal aid that is considered to be earned and the amount that is considered to be unearned, and therefore must be returned to the Federal programs. State and/or institutional aid may also be subject to return based on the withdrawal date. The earned/unearned amounts are calculated based on the percent of the term completed. The length of the term is defined as the first day of all classes through the last day of all classes (not including a break of 5 days or more). Students who withdraw and who have been awarded aid that has not disbursed will also be reviewed to determine if they are eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement. Withdrawn students who have been selected for verification but have not provided the documents necessary for disbursement may be eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement. Their account will be reviewed and they will be offered a post-withdrawal disbursement, if eligible, and given 30 days to return the requested documentation. Students will only be eligible for the percentage of“earnedÈ aid at the time of withdrawal. A student may also be subject to a Return of Title IV Aid calculation if they are enrolled for the entire term and only complete one or more classes that end in the first eight (8) weeks part of term.

WITHDRAWAL EXAMPLE This example shows what happened when a student withdrew completely on the 21st day of a 108 day semester (70% Tuition refund period). The first table shows how the Return of Title IV calculation applies to this specific student‘s situation. Please note that this is only an example; your specific situation may differ. If you are considering withdrawing, we strongly encourage you to consult with your academic advisor and a financial aid counselor prior to taking any official action. EXAMPLE OF RETURN OF TITLE IV CALCULATION Federal Direct Subsidized Loan...............................$1750 Federal Pell Grant......................................................$2675 Federal SEOG Grant.................................................$2000 1) Divide number of days attended by number of days in term Calculation: 21 days / 108 days = Result: Percentage of term completed 19% Greater than 60% - All aid is earned; no further steps Less than 60% - Use percent of term completed 2) Subtract percentage completed from 100 Calculation: 100 - 19 = Result: Percent of term not completed 81% 3) Multiply total federal aid by percent of term not completed Calculation: 6425 x .81 = Result: Amount of aid that is unearned $5204.25 4) Multiply total allowable institutional charges by 81% to get amount of unearned aid to be returned by FSU Calculation: Total fees = 2900 x .81 = Result: Amount of unearned aid to be returned by University $2349 University returns: $1750 Direct Subsidized Loan; $599 Pell Grant 5) Subtract unearned aid to be returned by FSU from total unearned aid Calculation: 5204 - 2349 = Result: Amount of unearned aid to be returned by student $2855 Student returns: $2076 Pell Grant and $779 SEOG (All that is left to repay is the amount the University had to repay. The following rules apply to the order in which federal aid is returned to the programs: • Order of repayment to programs is as follows: 1. Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans 2. Federal Direct Subsidized Loans 3. Federal Perkins Loan 4. Federal Direct PLUS (Graduate Loans) 5. Federal Direct Plus (Parent Loan) 6. Federal Pell 7. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) • The University returns its portion first; then the student‘s portion is returned


• Any loan amounts unearned from the student‘s share are not required to be repaid immediately (will be repaid in the normal repayment process) • For grants, only the portion of unearned grants due from the student that exceeds 50% of the total federal grants received for that payment period is required to be returned Please keep in mind this repayment policy is applied before the institution‘s refund policy. The school‘s refund policy may reduce the amount owed to the school by the student for aid returned. It is important to note that a student who withdraws from school could owe federal financial aid as well as repayment to West Virginia Higher Education Grant Program, PROMISE Scholarship Program and other scholarships and awards.

VETERANS‘ POLICIES The following policies and procedures will be observed by FSU for the purpose of determining satisfactory progress for all students receiving veterans‘ benefits. The Veterans Administration will be notified of any veteran who is not maintaining satisfactory progress. This does not replace the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy and if applicable, a student may be subject to both policies if receiving federal financial aid and veterans educational benefits. CLASS ATTENDANCE If a student receiving veterans‘ benefits withdraws from the University or an individual class and the Veterans Certifying Official has no prior notice of irregular class attendance, the official withdrawal date on the withdrawal form completed in the Registrar‘s Office will be assumed as the last date of class attendance. The Veterans‘ Certifying Official runs a report to identify these students and notifies the Veterans Administration. FINAL GRADE FOR ALL COURSES ATTEMPTED The final grade policy for all attempted courses applies to all students at FSU, including those receiving veterans‘ benefits. SUSPENSION The Veterans Administration will be notified immediately at the end of the semester if a student receiving veterans‘ benefits is suspended. The Office of the Registrar of FSU supplies the Veterans Certifying Official with a list of students suspended. This list will serve as the basis for notification to the Veterans Administration. SUMMARY As indicated above, students receiving veterans‘ benefits are subject to all institutional policies of grading, attendance, and withdrawal. It is the responsibility of the Veterans Certifying Official to administer the procedures listed above and to notify the Veterans Administration, in every instance, indicating lack of satisfactory progress by the student receiving veterans‘ benefits. There are no separate policies of attendance, withdrawal, or grade average calculation for students receiving veterans‘ benefits. Evidence of unsatisfactory progress during a semester may result in loss





of benefits back to the point at which satisfactory progress ceased (i.e., irregular withdrawal from class). It is the veteran‘s responsibility to immediately notify the Veterans Certifying Official of any changes in their enrollment status. If a change in enrollment status reduces the amount of veteran‘s benefits, the VA may request restitution from the student or the school. If requested, the school will return that portion of Veterans Assistance received. Student will then be billed for the balance. Collection of that balance will follow normal procedures.


Scholarships, Veterans Services, and Enrollment Services, your transcript for the semester may show“W‘sÈ for courses in which you officially withdraw or you may be completely deleted from those courses. If you choose to have some of your classes deleted, all financial aid received for the semester for those classes must be returned to the Federal, State, and/or Institutional Programs it was awarded from. This in turn may leave a balance due the school if you have already received a refund check. This balance will be pursued through normal collection procedures.

PROCEDURE FOR MILITARY DEPLOYMENT If you are called to active duty in the military while enrolled at FSU, you will be designated as being on a “Military Leave of Absence.“ The following policies and procedures are designed to make your transition from active duty and your return as convenient as possible. Please read the information below and review your choice of options. If you receive any form of financial assistance, it is imperative that you meet with the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office, Veterans Services, and Enrollment Services. You must provide Enrollment Services with a copy of your deployment papers no matter what option you select. Option 1 When called to active duty during an academic semester, you may withdraw completely from the semester and receive a full tuition refund. You will also receive a prorated refund for campus housing, meal plan, and parking. After consultation with the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office, Veterans Services, and Enrollment Services, your transcript for the semester may show enrolled with “W‘s or you may be completely deleted from that semester. If you choose to have all of your classes deleted, all financial aid received for the semester must be returned to the federal, state, and/or institutional Programs from which it was awarded. This in turn may leave a balance due the school if you have already received a refund check. This balance will be pursued through normal collection procedures. Option 2 You may contact your individual instructors to determine if you have completed enough work for the semester to receive an incomplete or a final grade for the course. The decision rests solely with each faculty member. You should have completed at least three-fourths of the semester before a faculty can awards a final grade for a course. If you wish to pursue this option, you will need to contact Veterans Services. Veterans Services will discuss the procedure with you and provide a form for faculty members to sign. Each faculty member must sign the form to indicate that they will give you an incomplete or final grade for the course. Upon return from active duty, you will have one year to make up your incomplete/s. At the end of the one-year period, the instructor must submit a final grade. If no change is made by the instructor, the grade “I“ will be changed to an “F.“ You may also officially withdraw from specific courses that you do not wish to complete.You will receive a prorated refund based upon the number of credit hours you retain. Upon consultation with the Office of Financial Aid and

Resident Classifications GENERAL Residency Classification is guided by Title 133 procedural rule Series 25 as established by WV Higher Education Policy Commission and authorized by WV Code 18 B-10 and 18 B – 2B – 6. Students enrolling in a West Virginia public institution of higher education shall be classified as resident or nonresident at the time of admission for tuition and fee purposes. If there is a question regarding residency classification, the matter must be brought to the attention of the office of the University Registrar and acted upon at least two weeks prior to registration and subsequent to payment of tuition and fees. Students found to have made false or misleading statements concerning their residence shall be subject to disciplinary action and will be charged the nonresident fees for each session therefore attended.

RESIDENCE DETERMINED BY DOMICILE Domicile within the State means adoption of the State as a fixed permanent home and involves personal presence within the State with no intent on the part of the person to return to another state or country. West Virginia domicile may be established upon the completion of at least 12 months of continued residence within the State prior to the date of registration, provided that such residence is not primarily for the purpose of attendance at any institution of learning in West Virginia. Establishment of West Virginia domicile with less than 12 months‘ residence prior to the date of registration must be supported by proof of positive and unequivocal action, including but not limited to the purchase of a West Virginia home, full-time employment within the state, paying West Virginia property tax, filing West Virginia income tax returns, registering to vote in West Virginia and the actual exercise of such right, registering of motor vehicles in West Virginia, and/or possessing a valid West Virginia driver‘s license. Additional items of lesser importance include transferring or establishing local church membership, involvement in local community activities, affiliation with

local social, civic, fraternal or service organizations, and various other acts which may give evidence of intent to remain indefinitely within the State. Proof of a number of these actions shall be considered only as evidence which may be used in determining whether or not a domicile has been established.

MINORS Minors are defined by the West Virginia Code 2-2-10 as persons under 18 years of age. The residence of minors shall follow that of the parents at all times, except in extremely rare cases where emancipation can be proved beyond question. The residence of the father, or the residence of the mother if the father is deceased, is the residence of unmarried and un-emancipated minors. If the father and the mother have separate places of residence, minors take the residence of the parent with whom they live or to whom they have been assigned by court order. The parents of minors will be considered residents of West Virginia if their domicile is within the State. Minor students who are properly admitted to an institution as resident students shall retain that classification as long as they enroll each successive semester.

EMANCIPATED MINORS Emancipated minors may be considered as adults in determining residence, provided satisfactory evidence is presented that neither of their parents, if living, contributes to their support nor claims them as dependents for federal or State income tax purposes. Emancipated minors assume all of the responsibilities of adults to establish residence for tuition and fee purposes. Proof must be provided that emancipation was not achieved principally for the purpose of establishing residence for attendance at an institution of higher education.

STUDENTS EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE OR OVER Students 18 years of age or over may be classified as residents if (1) the parents were domiciled in the State at the time the students reached majority and such students have not acquired a domicile in another state, or (2) while adults, students have established a bona fide domicile in the State of West Virginia. Bona fide domicile in West Virginia, means that students must not be in the State primarily to attend an educational institution and they must be in the State for purposes other than to attempt to qualify for resident status. Nonresident students who reach the age of 18 years while students at any educational institution in West Virginia do not by virtue of such fact alone attain residence in this state for admission or tuition and fee payment purposes. Students who are properly classified as residents at the time they reach the age of 18 shall continue to be classified as residents as long as they enroll each successive semester and do not establish a domicile, or legal residence, in another state.


STATE RESIDENTS 65 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER Residents of West Virginia who are at least 65 years of age may attend class for credit or no credit if space is available. Eligibility will be determined based on appropriate documents reflecting age and residency. Participants will be admitted according to the process for “Special Students“ outlined in the admissions policies. Students may register anytime during or after the preregistration period designated for “All Other Students“ and through the Regular and Late Registration periods. Appropriate dates and times will be published in the Schedule of Classes for each term. Participants may register for either on or offcampus courses. Eligible participants may elect one of two options for enrollment. Participants must identify themselves and choose an option at the time of registration. No Credit Option: Eligible participants will be assessed fifty dollars ($50) per course plus applicable fees (i.e. technology, laboratory, parking permits) when appropriate. Credit Option: Participants electing to earn college credit will be granted a waiver of fifty percent (50%) of the normal tuition and fees for courses. Technology, laboratory, parking and other special fees will be charged at the regular student rate.

MILITARY An individual who is on full-time active military service in another state or a foreign country or an employee of the federal government shall, be classified as an in-state student for the purpose of payment of tuition and fees: PROVIDED, that the person established a domicile in West Virginia prior to entrance into federal service, entered the federal service from West Virginia, and has at no time while in federal service claimed or established domicile in another state. Sworn statements attesting to these conditions may be required. The spouse and dependent children of such individuals shall also be classified as in-state students for tuition and fee purposes. Persons assigned to full-time active military service in West Virginia and residing in the state shall be classified as in-state students for tuition and fee purposes. The spouse and dependent children of such individuals shall also be classified as in-state students for tuition and fee purposes. In accordance with Section 702 of the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act, Fairmont State University offers in-state tuition and fees to all Veterans and Family members covered under this Act.

ALIENS Aliens in the United States on a resident visa, or those who have filed a petition for naturalization in the naturalization court and who have established a bona fide domicile in West Virginia, may be eligible for resident classification provided they are in the State for purposes other than to attempt to qualify for residency status as students.





FORMER DOMICILE A person who was formerly domiciled in the State of West Virginia and who would have been eligible for an instate residency classification at the time of his/her departure from the state may be immediately eligible for classification as a West Virginia resident, provided such person returns to West Virginia within a one year period of time and satisfies the conditions of Section Two regarding proof of domicile and intent to remain permanently in West Virginia.

APPEAL OF RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION Adult students who have been classified as out-of-state residents and who seek resident status in West Virginia must prove conclusively that they have established domicile in West Virginia with the intention of making their permanent home in this state. The intent to remain indefinitely in West Virginia is evidenced not only by persons‘ statements but also by their actions. The designated institutional officer shall consider actions including but not limited to those described above in Section Two, “Residence Determined by Domicile.“ Proof of a number of these actions shall be considered only as evidence which may be used in determining whether or not a domicile has been established. Factors militating against a change in residence classification may include such considerations as the fact that students are not self-supporting, that they are carried as dependents on their parents‘ federal or state income tax returns or their parents‘ health insurance policy, or that they customarily do not remain in the State when school is not in session. The decisions of the Registrar may be appealed to the President of the institution. The President may establish such committees and procedures as determined necessary for the processing of appeals.



Campus Life / 25

Campus Life Social and cultural opportunities are a significant part of a student‘s educational experience; therefore, Fairmont State University provides many services, activities, and organizations that students may select as they adjust to the college environment. The following section of the catalog describes these opportunities in detail. Matters concerning student rights, responsibilities, and social conduct can be found in the published Student Handbook and online at http://www.fairmontstate.edu/ publications/campushandbooks/studenthandbook/default. asp

The Players bring a season of light theatre fare (comedies, musicals, children‘s plays) to Northern West Virginia theatergoers and provide a cultural, recreational, and educational outlet for all participants. The plays are directed, designed, and supervised by the professionally trained members of the Communication and Theatre Arts faculty and/or guest artists. Acting roles and positions on production crews are open to the public as well as to the students, faculty, and staff on a volunteer or course-credit basis. Students who have demonstrated scholastic and production excellence are offered membership in the Alpha cast of Alpha Psi Omega, the National Dramatic Honorary.

COMMUNITY SERVICE LEARNING Service Learning is a national movement utilized in a number of colleges and universities in the United States. It is the process of integrating volunteer community service with active guided reflection which enhances student understanding of course material. The distinguishing characteristic of service learning is its twofold emphasis on both enriching student learning and revitalizing the community. To accomplish this, effective service learning initiatives involve students in: • Understanding the connections between textbook and experiential knowledge; • Enhancing students‘ self-esteem through meaningful contributions to the community; • Engaging students in decision making, critical thinking, and application of learned skills; • Providing human resources to meet the educational, human, safety and environmental needs of the community; • Creating a spirit of civic responsibility and leadership. The pedagogy of service learning represents a substantial change from the traditional curriculum and promotes education as a “process of living“ which encourages the processing of information, as well as its accumulation. This constant restructuring of information exemplifies the continuity and reality that exists between life experience and knowledge. Community Service Learning courses are coordinated by Amy Drvar in the Office of Civic Engagement as part of the Career Development Center located in the Turley Student Services Center.

THE ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL) PROGRAM The English as a Second Language (ESL) intensive English program is open only to non-native speakers of English who have a serious desire to improve their language skills. This challenging ESL program is useful to working professionals and to students preparing for university study or professional programs. The program has been offered since 1989 and follows the standards set by the National Association of Foreign Student Advisors (NAFSA) and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). The ESL Program offers three sessions yearly and follows the traditional academic schedule. Classes meet six hours daily, five days per week. In order to accommodate varying academic schedules, students may apply at any time. The course of study is based on an integrated skills approach with listening, speaking, reading, grammar, and writing components. Fluency and accuracy in both spoken and written English are emphasized. Classes average ten students. The small class size allows each participant a maximum amount of individual attention and an opportunity to develop conversational skills. ESL classes do not count toward graduation. English as a Second Language classes at any specific level, beginning through advanced, will depend on sufficient enrollment. For more information on the ESL Program, please contact Geneva Hines, Director of International Student Services, at 304-367-4490.


THE FRANK & JANE GABOR WEST VIRGINIA FOLKLIFE CENTER Patricia Musick (304) 367-4403 or (304) 333-3606 www.fairmontstate.edu/wvfolklife/default.asp This interdisciplinary center for West Virginia’s cultural heritage comprises academic programs, research library and archives (folklore, music, literary, and artifact collections), publications, exhibitions, public programs, and other activities. The Frank & Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center is dedicated to the identification, preservation, and perpetuation of our region’s rich cultural heritage, through academic studies; educational programs, festivals, and performances; and publications. The Folklife Center is located in an adaptive reuse of historic properties on the west side of campus, formerly known as The Colonial Apartments (c.1941) and The Kennedy Barn site (c.1903) on the original location of the Michael Kennedy Dairy Farm.The property was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.Mailing Address: 1201 Locust Avenue, Fairmont, WV 26554 ACADEMIC STUDIES Two academic minors in the College of Liberal Arts are physically housed at the Gabor WV Folklife Center: Folklore Studies (19 hours, Department of Language and Literature) and Museum Studies (18 hours, Department of Social Sciences/History). These interdisciplinary academic minors can be attached to most liberal arts majors. A folklore studies specialization prepares the student for graduate studies and professional involvement in such areas as teaching, archiving, preservation, historical parks and museums, entertainment and storytelling.The study of folklore and folklife involves examination and analysis of traditional expressive culture in all its forms, including oral, customary, and material. In every society, agricultural and industrial, rural and urban, folklore is a vital part of life. Since folklife is a study of the humanist expression that is handed down by tradition rather than by writing, it is related to all departments that deal with literature, art, and music. Since folklore also deals with the entire traditional culture of mankind as manifested in customs and beliefs, it has close affiliations with anthropology, psychology, sociology, history, philosophy, linguistics, design and pedagogy. The Museum Studies minor program provides students with a solid foundation in the various components of museum organization, practices, and pedagogy, including collections management, exhibit development and production, museum interpretation and education, and a broad understanding of museum concepts. The program develops students’ ability to work in various types of museums, including history, art, and natural history museums.Students are prepared for positions in small to medium size facilities as well as further graduate studies. ARCHIVES The Gabor WV Folklife Center houses the unpublished folklore estate of Ruth Ann Musick, folk tale scholar, who was the archivist for the WV Folklore Society and editor of West Virginia Folklore Journal that was published at Fairmont State.

THE HONORS PROGRAM J. Robert Baker, Director 231 Turley Center / (304) 367-4197 or (304) 367-4260 [email protected] Fairmont State University‘s Honors Program identifies and encourages highly motivated, academically superior students. Working within a curriculum that promotes engagement and participation, these students enroll in Honors sections of general studies classes. The faculty teaching these Honors sections are among the best the University has to offer. Honors sections are designated in the published schedule of courses each semester and noted on students‘ transcripts. Honors courses vary according to the program of study each student designs. Generally, however, students take two Honors courses each semester during their first two years at Fairmont State University. During their senior year, students complete six hours for a senior project linked to their majors. This project allows students to apply their developing intellectual skills in independent research, internships, and creative projects; it is designed also to help prepare students for graduate study or employment. At a minimum, students need thirty-one to thirty-two credit hours in Honors courses to complete the Honors Program, but students are encouraged to take more than the minimum in order to deepen their education. The Honors Program encourages students to work closely with other Honors students and the Honors faculty to explore ideas from various perspectives. Beyond the curriculum, Honors students participate in field trips, lectures, and cultural events. Honors students may apply to live in the Honors Residence in Prichard Hall, which offers a supportive community in which students can study and enjoy cocurricular activities with like-minded students. Students also have the benefit of the Honors Faculty in Residence who lives in Prichard Hall and is available for academic advice and support, as well as informal counsel.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL AND PRE-PROGRAM STUDIES Pre-professional and pre-program studies are not academic majors; rather, they are designed to prepare students to apply to a program or school that awards a specific degree. Two distinct types of preparatory studies exist at Fairmont State University. 1) Pre-program studies prepare students to apply to a competitive undergraduate degree program, either at Fairmont State University or at a different institution. Before a student is accepted into the nursing program, for example, he or she will be assigned a pre-nursing advisor and will have no official major. Pre-program status exists for both two-year and four-year programs. Pre-program studies for which a degree program exists at Fairmont State University include pre-education and pre-nursing. 2) Pre-professional studies prepare students to apply to professional schools at another institution after they have completed specific undergraduate coursework at Fairmont State University. Professional schools include medical, dental, engineering, pharmacy, physical therapy, veterinary or law school. Admission to professional schools is highly competitive and often requires successful completion of standardized tests and other special requirements. All students who plan to apply to professional schools are asked to declare an academic major and pursue a 4-year degree at Fairmont State University while completing the coursework specified by the professional school they desire to attend. Students who indicate an interest in preprofessional study will be given an advisor in the major area and an advisor specific to the pre-professional study they plan to pursue. Students should also carefully consult the catalog admission requirements of the professional school that they plan to attend.

Pre-professional studies for which a degree program exists at other institutions, but for which a student can prepare while at Fairmont State University, include predental, pre-engineering, pre-medical, pre-pharmacy, pre-physical therapy, pre-journalism, and pre-law.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS INTERNSHIPS The Political Science Department regularly becomes aware of internship opportunities at the local, state, and federal levels of government. These internships can be with members of the state House of Delegates and Senate, the United States Congress, city managers, public interest groups, or state and federal agencies. Internships can take place during the semester or during the summer months. While most of the internships do not include a salary, academic credit can be earned.

REGENTS BACHELOR OF ARTS (RBA) DEGREE PROGRAM The Regents Bachelor of Arts (RBA) Degree Program is a flexible, nontraditional program designed for adults in the belief that they are distinctly different from traditional undergraduates in their educational needs. The program can be tailored to fit those who need a degree for career advancement, those who have an associate degree in a field in which there is no corresponding bachelor‘s degree available, or those who seek intellectual development and personal fulfillment. The RBA degree has particular appeal for persons who have completed some college work in past years but did not obtain a degree. ADMISSION Students who have graduated from high school at least four years ago and who have not completed a bachelor’s degree are eligible for admission to the RBA program. Persons with high school equivalency certificates may be admitted four years after their high school class graduated. If an applicant has previous college credit, failing grades of F received four years or more before admission to the RBA program are disregarded. Admission to the RBA Degree Program requires that the RBA Admissions Form be completed instead of the standard application to Fairmont State University. However, all other admissions criteria – such as submission of official high school and/or college transcripts and immunization records – required for admission to Fairmont State are also required for RBA program admission. Admission to the RBA program does not provide for automatic admission to other programs at Fairmont State University. Any RBA

student must reapply and meet all admission requirements when changing from the Regents Bachelor of Arts (RBA) Degree Program to any other degree program at Fairmont State University. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS To qualify for graduation, candidates must accumulate a total of 120 semester hours of credit with a minimum quality point average of 2.00. At least 39 hours must be at the upper (3300 or 4400) level. Students must complete 36 semester hours of General Studies courses, including the required semester hours in each of the following areas: Communications (6), Social Sciences (6), Natural Sciences (6), Mathematics or Computer Applications (3), Humanities (6), and 9 additional General Studies hours. At least 24 semester hours must be taken in the West Virginia State System of Higher Education and at least 12 of those credit hours must be completed at Fairmont State. The RBA is an interdisciplinary degree with no major area of emphasis. A minor field of study may be declared but is not required. COLLEGE-EQUIVALENT CREDIT A unique feature of the RBA Degree Program is the possibility of obtaining college-equivalent credit for demonstrated college-level knowledge that has been learned in environments and agencies outside the classroom. To earn credit, students must demonstrate knowledge of learning objectives and outcomes equivalent to specific courses taught at Fairmont State or within the West Virginia State System of Higher Education. Students who have obtained any professional, state, or national licenses or certifications can request a review of the credentials to determine if they are eligible to receive college credit. Portfolio evaluations are completed for enrolled students by faculty members who teach the course for which credit is sought. Portfolios should be submitted prior to semester midterm to ensure that sufficient time is available for evaluation. The fee for portfolio evaluation is $300 regardless of whether or not credit is awarded. If credit is recommended, then the faculty members will also recommend the number of credit hours to be awarded along with the appropriate level (upper or lower). An additional $10 per credit hour processing fee is required to transcript the credit. Credit earned via portfolio or prior learning assessment does not count toward meeting the state or institutional residency requirements for the RBA program. WVROCKS/RBAS COURSES Students admitted to the RBA Degree Program are eligible to enroll in courses available through the West Virginia Remote Online Collaborative Knowledge System (WVROCKS), which provides access to courses taught at colleges and universities across West Virginia via a statewide portal. The courses, given the prefix RBAS at Fairmont State, are all online, compressed (8-weeks), mostly upper level, and available only to RBA students. For more information on the RBA program or the WVROCKS/RBAS courses, contact Pamela Stephens, Coordinator of the RBA Degree Program, 224 Turley Student Services Center, (304) 367-4709, [email protected].

CREDIT/NO CREDIT OPTION Any student who has completed 58 or more semester hours of credit may select one course per semester on a credit/no credit basis; such courses are to be considered part of the regularly scheduled load. A maximum of 18 semester hours may be completed with this option. Students may not choose this option for the following courses: a) Major and minor b) Education certification program Courses taken under this option will be recorded but will not be reflected in the quality point index. Credit courses will count toward graduation. Selection of a course for credit/no credit must be made at registration with the approval of the student‘s academic advisor, and may not be changed after the end of the adddrop period. The grade of CR means C or better.


ACADEMIC PROCEDURES Auditing Courses: Students may be permitted to attend classes as auditors if they obtain written permission from their advisor and instructors in the classes they want to audit. A student who enrolls in any class as an auditor may not, in the same semester, be considered as enrolled in the class for the purpose of obtaining credit. Auditors are required to complete the regular registration process and pay regular fees. The decision to audit a course must be made during the add-drop period. Classification of Students: Students are classified according to the number of credit hours earned as follows: Freshman 0-29 Sophomore 30-59 Junior 60-89 Senior 90+ Declaring a Major: All undeclared FSU students must select a major field of study by the end of their sophomore year (60 hours). Dropping a Class(es): Students may drop a course(s) with a “W“ being recorded up to the Friday during the: a) 10th Week of a Full Semester b) 5th Week of the 1st 8 Week Session c) 5th Week of the 2nd 8 Week Session d) 5th Week of the Weekend College e) 3rd Week of the 1st 5 Week Summer Session

PRESIDENT‘S LIST Students who register and receive letter grades for 12 or more hours taken at FSU (excluding credit or audit marks), in any given term, and attain a grade point average of 4.0 join a select group of individuals and are named to the President‘s List.

DEAN‘S LIST Students who register and receive letter grades for 12 or more hours taken at FSU (excluding credit or audit marks), in any given term, and receive a grade point average of 3.4 or better are considered honor students and are named to the Dean‘s List.

GRADE REPORTS Students can access mid-term and final grades by logging on to my.fairmontstate.edu and entering Felix and then selecting student, and then student records.

f) 3rd Week of the 2nd 5 Week Summer Session g) 8th Week of the 10 Week Summer Session Students may drop a course by logging on to my.fairmontstate.edu and then Felix. Excessive Course Withdrawal Fee: (Effective August, 2006) Students who drop individual classes will be charged a $50.00 fee for each course from which they withdraw or for each course they drop after the allowable maximum. Students may withdraw from a total of eight courses before the fee is charged. Late Registration: Late registration fees are assessed in accordance with the fee schedule cited under “Expenses and Financial Aid.“ Late registrants often fail to obtain satisfactory schedules; the policy of the institution is to give priority to students who register on time. Numbering of Courses: Courses for freshmen (1100 series) and sophomores (2200 series) constitute the lower level of curriculum. Courses numbered (3300-4499) are primarily for juniors and seniors. Courses numbered 5000 and above are graduate courses. All General Studies requirements consist

of lower-level course options which should be completed by the end of the sophomore year. Students are strongly advised to take at least eight hours of General Studies courses each semester until the requirements have been met. Repeating a Course (Effective: August 2007) Fairmont State University enforce Series 22 of the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission as follows: If a student earns a grade of “D“ or “F“ (including failures due to regular and/or irregular withdrawal) on any course taken no later than the semester or summer term during which the student attempts the sixtieth semester hour, and if that student repeats this course prior to the receipt of a baccalaureate degree, the original grade shall be disregarded and the grade or grades earned when the course is repeated shall be used in determining his/her grade point average. The original grade shall not be deleted from the student‘s record. Courses passed with a grade of “C“ or better may not be legally repeated. Grades for courses repeated more than once or repeats of courses attempted in semesters following the one in which the sixtieth hour was attempted will be used in determining grade point average. Courses completed at FSU with a grade of“D“ or“F“ may be repeated at any West Virginia public institution, provided the course at the other institution is deemed an equivalent course by FSU and the above stipulations are met. Regularly enrolled students who complete work at another accredited institution must secure written permission from the registrar before attempting such coursework. The transfer grade policy will apply to these grades. Courses transferred from other accredited institutions that are legally repeated at FSU will be a part of the repeat process, provided the course at the other institution is deemed an equivalent course by FSU and the above stipulations are met. Schedule Changes: From the time of initial registration and until the end of the add/drop period, as defined by part of term rules, students can drop and/or add classes. Individual classes that are dropped during this period do not appear on students‘ transcripts. Semester Load: In order to be considered for permission to carry more than 18 hours in a given regular fall or spring semester, a student must have an overall GPA of 3.0. In addition, the student must have a 3.0 GPA from the previous term OR be enrolled in the last semester prior to graduation. Student Credit Load Exception forms must be signed by the Dean of the College and Provost if the student is taking over 21 hours. During the summer sessions, the maximum semester load is 12 hours. In order to be considered for permission to carry more than 12 hours in the summer sessions, a student must have an overall GPA of 3.0. In addition, the student must have a 3.0 GPA from the previous term OR be enrolled in the last semester prior to graduation. Student Credit Load Exception forms must be signed by the Dean of the College and Provost if the student is taking over 15 hours.


Summer School: FSU offers a 10-week summer session each year. Courses are offered at a wide variety of times and locations to accommodate both traditional and nontraditional schedules including both day and evening offerings at the Main Campus, the Caperton Center and other off-campus locations. Class terms include two 5-week sessions, a 10week session, and an 8-week Weekend College session. Virtual courses and intensive courses are also available. The requirements for admission and the character of the work required are the same for the summer session as the regular academic year. All campus activities and facilities are available to students during the summer session. Withdrawal from FSU: Students can withdraw from the institution and all classes prior to the last week of classes. Students who fail to follow this procedure will receive grades of “F.“ To drop all classes in a semester, follow these links after logging into FELiX: Student and Financial Aid > Class Scheduling > Withdraw from Institution. Students are urged to print a copy of the transaction for their records.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS The Student Handbook contains information concerning student rights and responsibilities, attendance, absences, and matters of academic dishonesty. Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with these policies.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY All students and faculty members are urged to share in the responsibility for removing every situation which might permit or encourage academic dishonesty. Cheating in any form, including plagiarism, must be considered a matter of the gravest concern. Cheating is defined here as the obtaining of information during an examination; the unauthorized use of books, notes, or other sources of information prior to or during an examination; the removal of faculty examination materials; the alteration of documents or records; or actions identifiable as occurring with the intent to defraud or use under false pretense. Plagiarism is defined here as the submission of the ideas, words (written or oral), or artistic productions of another, falsely represented as one‘s original effort or without giving due credit. For the application of the Academic Dishonesty Policy go to http://www.fairmontstate.edu/publications/ CampusHandbooks/studenthandbook/default.asp

ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS POLICY Academic forgiveness is intended for the student who is returning to college with a grade point deficit and who has not been enrolled as a full-time student (12 or more credit hours) in any institution of higher learning during the four consecutive academic years immediately preceding the readmission semester. Academic Forgiveness only





applies to courses taken at FSU. A student who does not normally qualify for readmission because of a low GPA may be admitted and placed on academic probation, unless the student has been placed on academic suspension. When forgiveness is granted, grades of D, F and FIW earned prior to the aforementioned four-year period are excluded from the computation of the grade point average. However, no failing grade will be removed from the permanent record. The academic forgiveness policy may be applied after a student has earned 12 credit hours that apply toward graduation, with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Academic forgiveness will be granted only once for any student. The Registrar will give consideration to a request for forgiveness when s/he receives a signed, written request from the student which certifies that the student has not been enrolled as a full-time student (12 or more credit hours) in any institution of higher learning during the four consecutive academic years immediately preceding the readmission semester. Should the student have attended any institution of higher education on a part-time basis during the specified four-year period, s/he must have earned at least a 2.0 GPA in all course work attempted. The student‘s request for forgiveness must be submitted during the readmission semester, and it must identify the nonenrollment period. If all prerequisite conditions have been met, academic forgiveness will be granted at the time the current GPA is calculated officially by the Registrar upon completion of the readmission semester. The academic forgiveness policy does not alter, change, or amend any other existing policies at FSU and is formulated to be consistent with Series 20 of the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission. This policy pertains only to the calculation of the GPA required for graduation and does not pertain to GPA calculated for special academic recognition (such as graduating with honors) or to requirements for professional certification which may be within the province of licensure boards, external agencies, or the West Virginia Board of Education. The Regents Bachelor of Arts Degree Program is governed by a different forgiveness policy. FSU is not bound by the decision of any other institution to disregard grades earned in college courses. Similarly, students should be aware that academic forgiveness extended by Fairmont State University may not be recognized by other institutions to which they may transfer.

PROBATION/SUSPENSION POLICY


academic transcript. Academic Warning is not punitive and does not alter or affect a student‘s current or subsequent term registration. Instead, the student will be referred to various and appropriate academic offices for guidance, tutoring or other services as required. A student on Academic Warning is required to meet with his/her assigned academic advisor. This policy does not supersede the Academic Suspension policy. Academic Probation 1) The status of Academic Probation is automatically applied to a student when the cumulative grade point average, based upon coursework taken at FSU, falls below 2.0. 2) The status of Academic Probation will be removed only after the cumulative grade point average, based upon coursework taken at FSU, is 2.0 or higher. 3) A student who is placed on Academic Probation may continue to enroll on a full-time basis, but will be limited to 15 semester hours. Academic Suspension The academic record of each student on probation will be reviewed at the end of each regular (fall and spring) semester with regard to Academic Suspension. The following guidelines will be used in the review: 1) Academic Suspension occurs when a student‘s cumulative grade point average, based upon coursework taken at FSU, falls below the minimum required GPA, determined as follows in relation to overall institutional and transfer hours attempted: Credit Hours*...GPA 16-29................... 1.45 30-59................... 1.75 60+....................... 2.00 *Attempted hours at FSU plus transfer credits. 2) The suspension list will be compiled at the end of the fall and spring semesters. 3) A student will be placed on probation for one (1) semester before he/she is subject to Academic Suspension (see Academic Probation above). 4) A student can be placed on suspension if he/she has been on probation in any previous semester.

(Revised February 23, 2016)

5) No student with a current semester GPA of 2.0 or higher will be subject to Academic Suspension.

Satisfactory Academic Standing

6) A student who is academically suspended will not be permitted to enroll in coursework at FSU for the period of suspension as defined below:

A student is deemed to be in Satisfactory Academic Standing when his/her cumulative grade point average, based upon coursework taken at FSU, is 2.0 or higher.

For a first suspension, a student will not be permitted to enroll in coursework at FSU for one (1) full semester plus the summer terms. This means that a student suspended at the end of the fall semester cannot enroll again until the next fall semester. A student suspended at the end of the spring semester cannot enroll again until the next spring semester.

For a second suspension, a student will not be permitted to enroll in coursework at FSU for one (1) full year. A full fall and full spring semester plus the summer terms constitute the required suspension

Unsatisfactory Academic Standing A student is deemed to be in Unsatisfactory Academic Standing when his/her cumulative grade point average, based upon coursework taken at FSU, is below 2.0. Academic Warning At the end of each term, an active student whose term GPA falls below a 2.0 will be placed on Academic Warning and a notation of Academic Warning will be placed on the

period.

For a third and any subsequent suspension, a student will not be permitted to enroll in coursework at FSU for four (4) full years. Upon readmission, after the full four (4) year suspension, the student may be eligible for academic forgiveness. Whether academic forgiveness will apply will be determined by the Academic Forgiveness Policy in effect at the time of readmission.

7) A student who has been academically suspended for the first or second time is automatically eligible for readmission after the period of suspension is over, but must reapply through the Office of Admissions to have his/her Academic Suspension hold removed. 8) A student who has been academically suspended for the third time may apply for readmission after the period of suspension is over, but readmission is not automatic. The student‘s record will be reviewed to determine if it is academically possible for the student to attain Satisfactory Academic Standing and complete his/her degree program within a reasonable amount of time. A determination of eligibility for academic forgiveness will also be made before readmission is granted. If a student is determined to be eligible for academic forgiveness, the student must apply for academic forgiveness at the appropriate time (Please see “Academic Forgiveness Policy“, page 43). 9) FSU will not accept credit for courses taken at any institution while a student is suspended. 10) FSU reserves the right to deny admission if a student has been academically suspended from any institution(s) three (3) or more times. Appeals, Academic Suspension A student who is suspended may appeal the suspension decision to the Admissions and Credits Committee of Fairmont State University. A written appeal must be forwarded to the Chairperson of the Admissions and Credits Committee. Notices of the appeal deadline will be provided in the student‘s suspension letter. Late appeals will not be accepted. The decision of the Admissions and Credits Committee may be appealed to the President of Fairmont State University or his/her designee. For additional information concerning this procedure, contact the Associate Provost or the Chairperson of the Admissions and Credits Committee.

UNIVERSITY DEGREE REQUIREMENTS Candidates for the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees must complete all major and general studies course requirements as prescribed in their chosen degree program. A minor may be required for some baccalaureate degrees. However, students cannot major and minor in the same program. Each degree program has specific major and general studies requirements. While a complete listing of all general studies courses is listed in a separate section, refer to the respective schools in this catalog for details regarding major and general studies requirements. If a degree program provides some general studies options (provides a choice of courses rather than a specific required course), reference the section with the complete general studies courses listed to see what options are available. The minimum credit required for graduation from most degree programs is 120 semester hours, with a grade point average of 2.0 in the major and the minor with the exception of a Bachelor of Arts in Education degree, which requires at least a 2.75 in the teaching specialization(s) and overall averages. Fairmont State University defines a credit hour consistent with the Carnegie Unit: “One hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out of class student work each week for approximately 15 weeks for one semester hour of credit.“ General studies requirements may also be used to meet major or minor requirements. No course, however, may be counted more than once in meeting the number of semester hours required for graduation. For example, general studies requirements in English will also satisfy requirements for a major or minor in English.


Students are required to complete at least one designated writing intensive course as part of their general studies program or their major field of study. This course will not be in addition to other courses, but rather a course from those approved as general studies or majors courses. Students cannot use ENGL 1101, 1102, 1103, 2220, 2221, 2230, or 2231 to satisfy the writing intensive course requirement All students who are candidates for degrees must attain a grade of “C“ or above in English 1101, 1102, and/or 1103 in order to prove their competence in the use of the English language. This is a requirement for graduation. Twelve hours of one foreign language is a general requirement for a number of Bachelor of Arts degrees. Consult specific programs for details. Upon the presentation of two or more units of high school work in a foreign language currently taught at Fairmont State University, students may have six hours of this requirement at the elementary level waived, provided that they are competent to continue the study of the language in classes numbered 2200 or above. However, students still must complete the required total number of hours for graduation. It is recommended that students begin their requirement in foreign language no later than their sophomore year. Many major and general studies courses have prerequisites (courses that must first be successfully completed). The catalog section which lists all of the general studies courses also identifies the prerequisites. You can find prerequisite information for ALL courses in the section entitled “Courses of Instruction.“ Students are encouraged to ALWAYS check with their assigned advisor and DegreeWorks before registering for courses. All variations from prescribed programs must be approved by the appropriate Dean in the major/minor field before students can qualify for graduation. Students seeking a second Bachelor‘s Degree: See Admissions Requirements in Section 1 of the catalog, “Introduction.“

HOW TO DECLARE A DOUBLE MAJOR Students considering a double major should first speak with advisors in both majors before making a decision. Once the curriculum requirements for both majors have been discussed and clarified, students need to fill out a “Major Change“ form at the Student Services Desk (Turley Student Services Center) to declare a second major. Students with a double major will have an advisor assigned by both departments. Students with double majors are encouraged to consult both advisors and DegreeWorks regularly during preregistration and at other times during the academic year when they need help.

English Electives (12 hrs.) (Select one course from each of the following categories for a total of 12 hours.)

ENGLISH A baccalaureate degree in English answers to contemporary demands for flexible reading, writing, and analytical skills in private, social, and public realms, including career opportunities and graduate and professional studies. Students who intend to pursue a career as a licensed teacher in West Virginia major in English Education (B.A. Education). Students with English degrees are sought across a range of employment fields, from journalism, education, publishing, and public affairs to marketing, sales, entertainment, and human resources, to name but a few. Currently and historically, a B.A. in English has been recommended for students considering pursuit of a law degree, and as a necessary prerequisite for graduate study in English at the master ‘s level. Literary study, critical writing, and creative writing develop deep cultural and historical knowledge necessary to complex thinking and lucid communication, as well as versatile interpretive skills essential to navigating the multimodal and intercultural communications of today ‘s world. The sophisticated literacy required for living and working successfully in an information-saturated world develops throughout the levels of the English Program in our composition, literature, and specialized writing courses.

FRENCH

Students interested in the study of folklore and folklife learn to examine and analyze traditional expressive culture in all its forms. In every society, agricultural and industrial, rural and urban, folklore is a vital part of life. Since folklore study deals with so many forms of human expression which are typically transmitted by tradition, it is connected to all disciplines that deal with literature, art, and music, as well as anthropology, psychology, sociology, history, philosophy, linguistics, design and pedagogy. A folklore studies specialization prepares the student for graduate studies and professional involvement in such areas as preservation, archiving, teaching, curating, historical parks management, museum interests, entertainment, and storytelling. This interdisciplinary academic minor can be attached to most liberal arts majors.

French is a language of growing importance in our globally-connected world. The French program at Fairmont State University focuses on the development of a comparative critical perspective through the study of language, culture, communication, and context. As students learn about cultures of the Francophone world, from Africa and the Americas to Europe and the Indian Ocean, they also understand their own story more clearly. Learning to communicate in another language and developing intercultural knowledge involves understanding similarity and difference at the same time. This type of complex thinking is a desirable skill in many areas of the professional world. Employers seek out students who are multilingual, with concrete international experience, because of the maturity and skillset these students demonstrate. Training in French and cultural studies lays a strong groundwork for students ‘ future lives as global citizens and innovators in many fields. Innovation coincides with an expanding network of knowledge and contacts. French is also an important language of diplomacy and international organizations. French students are encouraged to study abroad through a variety of programs. French minors gain competence in global studies with a French-language focus, and have successfully combined the program with majors in other programs across campus.

proficiency in professions such as criminal justice, national security, social work, business and banking and nursing, as well as in education-- where the need for Spanish teachers for K-12 grades is also increasing. The Spanish program at Fairmont State University is designed to address the linguistic and cultural proficiency needs of our students by gradually developing speaking, comprehension, reading and writing skills while gaining an understanding of Spanish-speaking cultures both outside and inside of the United States. The Spanish program adheres to the Standards of Foreign Language Learning established by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). Students are strongly encouraged to integrate Spanish into their chosen careers as double majors, or as minors. In addition, both Elementary and Secondary Education students can choose to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Education with a teaching specialization in Spanish for grades pre k-adult, or may add this specialization to another teaching field. The program offers a variety of courses aimed at helping students reach their career goals, including Spanish for the Medical Professions, Spanish for Criminal Justice and Spanish for the World Economy (Business). Spanish majors are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester abroad in a Spanish-speaking country, preferably but not necessarily in their junior year. Students have the option of traveling to a Spanish-speaking country and doing research on an approved topic, for which they will receive 3-6 credit hours (SPAN 4402). Students in approved internships (SPAN 3300) will receive 3-6 upper-division credit hours, depending upon the type and duration of the internship. All students who have taken Spanish in high school should take a placement test to determine at what level they should begin. Students who test out of beginning courses may receive credit for these courses by asking their instructor to complete Credit by Exam paperwork, and paying a fee.

TEACHING ENGLISH TO SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES (TESOL) English is the language of business, diplomacy and science in many parts of the world, and there is a need for those prepared to teach it to speakers of other languages. Completion of this minor will empower future ESL teachers to understand the communication challenges of secondlanguage learners and equip them with best practices and experience in teaching this population. Students completing this minor are encouraged to choose General Studies classes such as HIST 2211, 2212 and 2213 and ENGL 2220 and 2221 to bring them a wider knowledge of world culture along with their linguistic studies and minor electives. While this minor does not yet carry certification for teaching English as a Second Language in the public schools, this credential will make elementary and secondary teaching candidates more attractive to school districts with large non-English speaking populations.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE Criminal Justice examines the structure, functions, and decision-making processes of agencies that deal with crime and criminal offenders. As an independent academic discipline, criminal justice is comparatively new. Interest in criminal justice education was spurred by the “war on crime“during the 1960s and the resulting massive federal funding to upgrade criminal justice agencies, technology, programming and education of criminal justice personnel. Faculty in this program provide expertise in law enforcement, investigations, corrections, criminal law and


theory. Majors are assigned a faculty advisor who will assist in selection of courses relevant to individual interests and career aspirations. Students with a B.S. degree in criminal justice qualify for employment in city, county, state and federal criminal justice agencies, and in the rapidly-growing private industrial security field. A number of graduates continue their education in graduate programs in criminal justice, criminology or law. The program also offers a Master of Science in Criminal Justice degree.

HISTORY Every person, every place, everything on earth has a history, a story of its past that can help us understand human existence and human behavior. The History Program ‘s major and minor draw upon a broad curriculum that encompasses regional, national, and international history, as well as such special topics as the revolutions in history and diplomatic history. The History Program offers two types of majors. The Bachelor of Arts degree has the traditional emphasis on language skills, especially through study of a foreign language. It is a good choice for students thinking about postgraduate study. The Bachelor of Science degree develops basic capabilities in statistics and computer science. It is a good choice for students interested in the modern social science approach to historical understanding. The great advantages of historical study are: 1) Emphasis on developmental and evolutionary aspects of human experience. 2) Examination of many different fields of human activity. 3) Use of insights and methods of many other fields. Students completing a bachelor ‘s degree in history may enter professional practice in academic history (teaching and writing), public history (archives and special research, consultancy) or publishing (print, electronic, film and television documentary). The history major also provides excellent preparation for careers in law, government, politics, foreign service, historical preservation and journalism.

PHILOSOPHY (MINOR ONLY)

Philosophy is neither dogma nor advice for daily living nor a body of truisms. Rather, it examines the premises on which systematic thought may rest; it explores the types of thought that may be produced in such areas of concern as ethics, politics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and epistemology; and it evaluates the advantages and disadvantages inherent in various modes and systems of thought. Thus philosophy encourages the thinking person to develop a sophisticated self-conception and world-view, and to examine his/ her values, expectations, commitments and loyalties in a rational and realistic manner.

POLITICAL SCIENCE The Political Science curriculum is designed to provide an understanding of the political process in its many manifestations, including the structure of government institutions, the political behavior of individuals and groups, the study of public problems characteristic of modern societies, and a consideration of the interrelationships of institutions at different levels of government. The principal objectives of the Political Science Program are: 1) To lay the basis for an understanding of governmental and administrative processes for individuals planning public service careers in national, state, or local government 2) To foster an understanding of the substance and methods of the study of government and politics as preparation for graduate work in political science or public administration 3) To provide thorough training for students considering law school.

Courses allow students to concentrate in broad fields and to develop more specialized programs reflecting their particular interests. Generally, 1100-2200 level courses are survey courses and 3300-4400 level courses cover more specific topics. While both the major and minor in political science typically consist of necessary introductory work, the faculty strongly urges students with a minor in political science to take the Seminar in Political Science (POLI 4470). Schedules should be planned in consultation with an advisor, and students are encouraged to explore a variety of courses. Eligible students are also encouraged to intern in Washington, D.C. with the Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars (see Special Academic Programs).

PRE-LAW STUDIES Students planning to apply to most law schools may complete a four-year undergraduate degree in any major at Fairmont State University. According to the web site for the West Virginia University School of Law, “Whatever major an applicant decides to pursue should be augmented by a well-rounded variety of course selections that might include philosophy, writing, logic, history, literature, and fundamentals of accounting. The University urges applicants to engage in a curriculum that demands intellectual self-discipline and develops reading, writing, verbal, and analytical skills.“ Students should carefully consult the pre-law advisor at FSU and the catalog of the law school they plan to attend for more information.

PRE-MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY CURRICULUM

YEAGER, PHILLIP E. (1999) Professor of Biology

Medical Technology is a four-year undergraduate program. The first two years may be taken at Fairmont State University. The entrance requirements of schools of medical technology throughout the nation vary considerably; students should carefully consult the catalog of the school that they plan to attend. Students who have completed 60 semester hours, including the following courses, may be eligible for admission to the third year of the medical technology program at West Virginia University.

PRE-DENTAL CURRICULUM Students planning to study dentistry should complete basic science courses as well as a broad range of general education courses with better than a “B“ average. The School of Dentistry at West Virginia University requires applicants to have completed three or more academic years of work (90 semester hours) in the liberal arts, including the following specific course requirements: BIOL 1105, 1106 BIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES I, II...................................8 CHEM 1105, 2200 CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES, FOUNDATIONAL BIOCHEMISTRY.............................................................9 CHEM 2201, 2202 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I, II.......................................8 ENGL 1101, 1102 WRITTEN ENGLISH I, II.............................................6 PHYS 1101, 1102 INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICS I, II..............................8

Courses in the humanities, social sciences, and advanced courses in biology are also suggested in order to acquire a broadened intellectual background.

PRE-MEDICAL CURRICULUM Students planning to study medicine or veterinary medicine should complete basic science courses as well as a broad range of general education courses with better than a “B“ average. Students should carefully consult the catalog of the professional school that they plan to attend. At West Virginia University, the School of Medicine requires a minimum of 90 semester hours of undergraduate work (excluding physical education and ROTC courses) for admission. Pre-medical students should work towards fulfilling the requirements for the bachelor‘s degree in biology, chemistry, or forensic science. Students selecting other majors will still need to complete the minimum course requirements shown below. The following courses will meet the minimum requirements for admission to the School of Medicine at West Virginia University: BIOL 1105, 1106 BIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES I, II...................................8 CHEM 1105, 2200 CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES, FOUNDATIONAL BIOCHEMISTRY.........................................................................9

The other classes should total 21 to 24 hours of core classes. Courses such as microbiology, biochemistry and anatomy should not be taken prior to enrollment in the medical technology program.

PRE-PHARMACY CURRICULUM Many schools of pharmacy offer a doctorate of pharmacy that requires six years of study beyond high school, two years of pre-pharmacy and four years of study in a professional school of pharmacy. Prospective pharmacy students should plan their programs to meet the requirements of the particular professional school of pharmacy to which they plan to transfer. The following two-year preparatory program is suggested for students applying to the WVU School of Pharmacy and Marshall University School of Pharmacy. Elective slots in the model schedule should be filled with courses that satisfy required general education credits at the pharmacy school. Students without the necessary prerequisites for calculus will be required to take MATH 1540 or 1530 and 1540. The pre-pharmacy advisor should be consulted prior to scheduling each semester.

This curriculum is designed to satisfy the course requirements for admission to the professional portion of the curriculum in physical therapy offered by the West Virginia University (WVU) School of Medicine. Fairmont State University (FSU) students must select a major and complete a bachelor‘s degree prior to application for WVU‘s Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) program. All applicants to the DPT program are required to have a bachelor‘s degree before admission. Information on prerequisite equivalent coursework is provided below. Degrees in biology, chemistry and forensic science meet many of these prerequisites. Applicants with degrees in any area (i.e. exercise science, philosophy, psychology, etc.) are encouraged to apply, as long as the equivalent prerequisite coursework has been completed. A course in medical terminology, such as HLCA 1100, is recommended, but not required. Students interested in admission to a physical therapy program at an institution other than WVU should consult with the pre-physical therapy advisor for assistance in getting the information about the course requirements at the other institution. • DPT prerequisite course requirements: BIOL 1105, 1106 BIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES I, II...................................8 CHEM 1105, 2200 CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES, FOUNDATIONAL BIOCHEMISTRY.............................................................9 MATH 1550 APPLIED STATISTICS.......................................................3 -OR BSBA 3310 BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS STATISTICS.......................3 PHYS 1101, 1102 INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICS I, II..............................8 PSYC 1101 INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY I...............................3 PSYC 3330 DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY...................................3 ATTR* 219 HUMAN ANATOMY (RECOMMENDED) -OR NBAN** 205 HUMAN ANATOMY........................................................3 PSIO****441 HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY (RECOMMENDED)......................4 -OR PSIO***241 ......................................................................................4 -OR BIOL***235 ......................................................................................4 * must take the WVU course; contact WVU Dept. of Anatomy **this course available on the web; must take the WVU course; contact WVU Department of Anatomy ***must take the WVU course; contact WVU Dept. of Physiology ****this course is available on the web via the WVU Department of Physiology

BIOLOGY Biology, the study of life, is a wide-ranging and rapidly growing discipline. Understanding biology requires a working knowledge of all the sciences, especially chemistry and mathematics. The biology program at FSU strives to provide students with a broad-based education in all fields of biology as well as a fundamental knowledge of chemistry and mathematics. Students are required to complete basic courses in biology designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of living organisms. Electives allow students the flexibility to gain additional knowledge in an area of interest. No minor is required for biology majors. A four-year B.S. degree in biology will prepare students to compete for entry level jobs such as lab technician, wildlife biologist, research scientist or naturalist, among others. While a bachelor‘s degree in biology will help students get a job, many careers require additional education beyond the B.S. degree. Many of our best students compete successfully for admission to graduate study at institutions across the country. A biology degree will also provide pre-professional training required by fields such as dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine. Students who major in biology select one of the following degree programs: 1) the B.S. in Biology degree as preparation for employment, professional school or graduate study 2) the B.S. in Biology degree with an emphasis in biotechnology as preparation for employment, professional school, or graduate study 3) the B.A. in Education degree with a specialization in biology, as preparation for teaching biology in grades 9-Adult. All courses must be completed prior to admission to Secondary Student Teaching/Clinical III. In addition to meeting the graduation requirements listed for the B.S. in Biology or B.A. in Education degree, students must also: 1) obtain a grade of “C“ or better in BIOL 1105, 1106, 2202, and 2203 2) successfully complete an assessment exam during their final year (This exam is given every spring semester.)

CHEMISTRY The mission of the Chemistry Program at Fairmont State is to help students learn chemistry, and how it connects to computers, mathematics, biology and physics. The program strives to foster excellent oral and written communication skills, and is approved by the American Chemical Society. With small class sizes, innovative teaching approaches, and hands-on access to modern, research-quality instrumentation, students can develop the analytical, problem-solving and teamwork skills necessary to successfully pursue science-based careers. A student completing the B.S. degree with a major in chemistry will be competitive for graduate study in chemistry or chemical engineering, laboratory positions in the chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry or government agencies, or application to law school. By electing a few additional biology classes, students completing a B.S. degree in chemistry will be prepared for application to a variety of professional and graduate schools, including medical school, dental school, veterinary school, pharmacy school, physical therapy programs, toxicology, pharmaceutical science and forensic science graduate programs.

Programs available for students who wish to specialize in chemistry include: 1) The B.S. in Chemistry is certified by the American Chemical Society and provides a well-balanced program of courses in the major fields of chemistry, as well as mathematics and physics. A student completing this program will be a competitive candidate for graduate study or positions in industry or government agencies. 2) The B.S. in Chemistry with an emphasis in biotechnology provides chemistry majors with an additional grounding in biology and prepares students for professional schools and graduate study in forensic science and pharmaceutical sciences. 3) The B.A. in Education with a specialization in chemistry equips the graduate to teach chemistry in any secondary school or to pursue graduate studies in science education.

The physics program provides students in science, mathematics, technology, secondary education and various pre-professional programs with an understanding of fundamental concepts and principles that govern the physical universe. Physics students utilize mathematical methods, observation and critical reasoning to describe and analyze relationships between properties of matter and the interactions that cause things to change. The physics program‘s goal is to provide an environment for the development and application of analytic and problemsolving skills needed for careers and graduate study. Students may earn a minor in physics that complements majors in science, math, computer science and technology. A physics single specialization for grades 9-adult (see below) and a general science specialization (see Department of Biology, Chemistry and Geoscience) for grades 5-adult are also offered for the B.A. in Education degree, in conjunction with the School of Education. The Physics single specialization is a mostly on-line set of courses, making the program easier for nontraditional students or for professionals who need to add a physics specialization.

MATHEMATICS The mission of the mathematics degree programs is to equip students with analytic and problem-solving skills for careers or graduate study. Classes develop a student‘s ability to apply mathematical methods and ideas to problems in mathematics and other fields. Students learn to communicate ideas effectively, assimilate new information, and to be self-reliant learners. The department cooperates fully with the School of Education in meeting its mission for candidates for an A.B. degree in education with mathematics teaching specialization for either the 5-9 or the 5-Adult grade levels. Students interested in mathematics have the option of selecting one of the following degree programs: 1) the Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics, as preparation for immediate employment or for graduate school. 2) the Bachelor of Arts in Education degree with a 5-Adult comprehensive specialization as preparation for teaching mathematics. Students receiving a B.A. in Math Education also satisfy the degree requirements for a B.S. in Mathematics. Students pursuing these degrees


are advised in the Math department. NOTE: MATH 1550, 1561, 2563, 2501, 2502, and 3503 are required for both degrees and should be completed early in the program. 3) the Mathematics 5-9 teaching specialization can be added to an Elementary Education degree or as a second specialization with a B.A. in Education. It is expected that incoming students in this field will present a minimum of four units of high school mathematics, including the equivalent of two units of algebra, one unit of geometry, and one advanced unit such as Pre-Calculus. Students without this background may be required to complete appropriate lower-level courses in addition to the stated requirements. Students should consult with their advisor concerning credit for prerequisites and special examinations for course credit. All students majoring in mathematics must complete a minor. Students who are receiving a teaching certificate use Education as their minor. BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MATHEMATICS..................................... 120 SEM. HRS.

GRAPHIC DESIGN TECHNOLOGY The Graphic Design Technology (GDT) program at Fairmont State University prepares students for careers in the expanding graphic design industry and graduate studies. The Bachelor of Science degree provides students with a program structure that includes design, conceptual thinking and current technology for 1) print, packaging and digital delivery; 2) interactive and multimedia design, including responsive web site design; and 3) motion graphics including studies in kinetic typography. The program objective is for our students to be proficient in these skills and compete for professional positions upon graduation or further studies in graduate programs. Graduates from our GDT program are qualified for entry-level positions as Art Directors, Web Designers, and Multi-Multimedia artists and animators. According to the December 2015 US Bureau of Labor Statistics, these starting positions range in salary from about $64K to $89K and the projected growth is on par with the national average of six percent. Some recent reports have web designers projected higher due to the growing need in many fields for this expertise. Graduates may also pursue further study in animation for careers in commercials, television, video game design, and feature films. Post-Graduate studies in the visual communication field could lead to universitylevel teaching positions.

INTRODUCTION The University believes that adequate preparation for teaching requires a rich and comprehensive experience in general education and a concentration in at least one academic specialization. The School of Education (SoEHHP) mission is to prepare reflective and responsive educators who possess the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to help all students learn. This mission is integrated across the curriculum, field experiences, clinical practice, and assessments of candidates. The mission provides the structure and guiding principles that are necessary to prepare reflective and responsive educators.The WestVirginia Professional Teaching Standards (WVPTS), the Interstate Teacher and Support Consortium (InTASC) Standards, and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) Standards undergird the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that candidates must possess in order to facilitate learning for all students.

DESTINATION EDUCATION PROGRAM This unique program provides academic and social/ emotional support services for students of all majors in the School of Education and Health & Human Performance. This program includes a discipline-specific summer orientation, welcome week group meetings, town meetings, social activities, and opportunities for creating connections with current students, faculty, and staff. Students are encouraged to participate in this program and other activities that promote their success in college. The SoEHHP also offers Bachelor of Science degrees and minors in the fields of Exercise Science, Community Health Education, and Outdoor Recreation Leadership (minor only).

BACHELOR OF ARTS IN EDUCATION The General Studies requirement for FSU teacher education students differs for elementary and middle/ adolescent education programs; however, each consists of a minimum of 30 credit hours distributed over humanities, mathematics, natural sciences, and physical education and health. The General Studies requirements for elementary education also fulfill selected requirements for the Elementary/K-6 specializations and are included with the Elementary and the Early/Middle Specialization in determining the 2.75 grade point requirement for eligibility for the Clinical (Student Teaching) component of the program. To meet the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts in Education, the candidate must: 1) earn a minimum of 120 hours‘ credit in approved subjects, with a quality point average of 2.75 or better for all courses attempted; 2) attain a 2.75 average in each teaching specialization and professional education; 3) meet the general and specific requirements for the curriculum and teaching specialization(s) elected; 4) achieve acceptable scores on the CORE; 5) achieve a minimum grade of “C“ or better in all EDUC classes.


PRE-ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS TO TEACHER EDUCATION Any student may enroll in EDUC 2200 Introduction to Education or EDUC 2201, Instructional Technology. While enrolled in EDUC 2200, teacher candidates will complete a “Declaration of Intent“ tobe used as the initial step in the application process. In order to be admitted to teacher education a candidate must have: • Earned passing scores on all three sections of the CORE Academic Skills for Educators Test • 2.75 education GPA • 2.75 GPA in each teaching specialization • Submitted a Declaration of Intent • Completion of all Early Field Experiences To apply for the admission to the teacher education program, students are required to submit a portfolio in TaskStream to verify all requirements are met. Students will be notified in writing of the decision to admit or not admit. The SOE Teacher Education Selection Committee reviews all applications. Applications must be submitted by either March 1 or October 1. Pre-Admission Field Experience 1 The Teacher Education Program at Fairmont State University includes an Early Field Experience (EFE) Field Experience 1 designed to help introduce prospective teacher certification candidates to the teaching profession, work of educators in the school and community settings and program of study. The Early Field Experience is also designed to create a community of pre-education majors by providing increased support, communication, and contact with pre-majors prior to actual admission to Teacher Education. Focus on Diversity: As much as settings, agencies and contexts for the Early Field Experiences allow, candidates should seek out locations that support interactions, relationship-building and activities with communities who represent diversity. Diversity may represent a broad range of identities, experiences, and lives that include race and ethnicity, class, gender, and special learning needs. At Fairmont State University the School of Education, Health and Human Performance uses CREDE (Center for Research on Education, Diversity, and Excellence) standards to frame how we think about diversity and what it means to be an educator who believes that engagement with and learning for diverse communities is central to being an educator. We believe that experiences such as these for the pre-service teachers are essential to the process of deciding to major in education and becoming a member of the profession. The CREDE standards can be located at http://crede.berkley. edu.

Potential program candidates will complete two field experiences prior to admission to Teacher Education. Both field experiences must be pre-approved by the teacher education program and include: • EFE – Community. In this requirement, the student self-selects a site. This experience could be paid or volunteer and be completed at home, in high school, in community agencies, over breaks or summer. EFE Community must be a minimum of 30 clock hours scheduled over at least 5 separate visits to the site. • EFE Professional Development School (PDS). In this second field experience, students are placed in a local PDS school. PDS sites are schools that formally partner with Fairmont State University. The PDS-based experiences must total a minimum of 20 clock hours scheduled over at least 5 days. • Students will be asked to complete an evaluation of their experience in each setting. The EFE-PDS experience must be completed during the same semester it was initiated. Transfer Students Transfer students must complete all FSU teacher education admissions requirements.Any substitute experiences completed at another institution must be approved as having met Fairmont State University program requirements prior to application for admission to Teacher Education. Note: During the file review period, a request for information on candidates will be sent to all School of Education, Health & Human Performance faculty, staff and administrators. Feedback on a candidate‘s “dispositions“ is a significant part of this process. According to the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) a disposition is defined as those “professional attitudes, values, and beliefs demonstrated through both verbal and non-verbal behaviors as educators interact with students, families, colleagues and communities.“ Candidates should be aware of how personal and professional behaviors may reflect on their pursuit of a career in Teacher Education. Policy On Criminal Background Checks and TB Testing Fairmont State University does not require a criminal background check or TB test for entrance into the teacher education major. However, the State of West Virginia does have policies related to who may enter public schools and work directly with children. Students will be required to provide documentation of these two procedures prior to entering any public school facility for the purpose of field experiences and student teaching. It is important that premajors plan on completing the criminal background check and TB test prior to the start of Early Field Experience PDS. More information about these requirements can be found on the Fairmont State School of Education web site.

TEACHING SPECIALIZATION AREAS Elementary Optional specializations which may be combined with Elementary Education are as follows: 1) General Mathematics through Algebra I (5-9) 2) Special Education – Multi-Categorical (K-Adult)

Pre-K-Adult Programs (Secondary) Students who pursue a degree in Elementary Education, Physical Education, or Health Education will be assigned an academic advisor by the School of Education, Health, & Human Performance.All other Teacher Education majors will be assigned an academic advisor by the academic college/school that houses their primary specialization area (ex. Theatre Education = School of Fine Arts, Mathematics = School of Science and Technology).In addition, students with majors that are housed in colleges outside the School of Education, Health, & Human Performance will receive an additional advisor who will be listed as a Special Advisor in the Student Records section of their FELIX account.This second advisor is part of the School of Education, Health, & Human Performance Destination Education Program and provides additional support and information specific to Teacher Education Students. For course requirements in each specialization, refer to the chapter for the desired subject (e.g.: for Art, see the School of Fine Arts catalog section). Secondary special methods and student teaching are required in all areas in order to be licensed. Secondary and Pre K-Adult specializations are also available via the Master of Arts in Teaching program. 1) Art...............................................................Pre K-Adult 2) Biology............................................................... 9-Adult 3) Chemistry.......................................................... 9-Adult 4) English............................................................... 5-Adult 5) General Science................................................ 5-Adult

There are multiple paths for pursuing certification or a degree in Special Education at Fairmont State University. Students who are seeking Elementary (K-6) certification may add a concentration in Multicategorical Special Education (Grades K-12) to their Elementary program. This concentration allows teacher candidates to graduate with an Elementary Multi-Subject (K-6) degree and a Multicategorical Special Education (K-12) concentration by taking three additional courses. Students at Fairmont State University who are interested in obtaining certification or a Master of Education degree with an Emphasis in Special Education [MultiCategorical with Autism (K-Adult)]may do so by linking their undergraduate and master‘s degrees. Undergraduate students in Education or pursuing majors in other fields have the opportunity to begin the graduate program by applying for concurrent enrollment in a limited number of graduate degree courses during their senior year. For more information about this option, or to request a transcript evaluation for the program, please contact Joyce Rose, School of Education, Health and Human Performance.

POST ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Once a student is admitted to the Teacher Education Program, students are required to complete additional field and clinical experiences. Fairmont State University adheres to the requirements of WV State Policy 5100. This policy mandates that each teacher candidate: Is required to have clinical practice at both the elementary and middle or secondary levels. Field based experiences and/or clinical practice must be completed at a minimum of three different programmatic levels in the Pre K-Adult degrees. The third programmatic level will be determined by the institution of higher education. This sequence is required for all teacher education candidates. At the present time, placements are made at the Professional Development Schools (PDS), which encompass public schools in a six county area. These schools are sites of “best practice“ and are schools who work collaboratively with Fairmont State University to ensure quality teacher education and professional development for practicing


teachers. All such experiences are cooperatively arranged by university and public school personnel. All assessments are aligned with the new West Virginia Professional Teaching Standards (WVPTS).

FIELD EXPERIENCES 2 AND 3 Progression to the student teaching clinical experience requires the following field experiences and the co-requisite courses: EDUC 2265 FIELD EXPERIENCE 2......................................... 1 CREDIT

EDUC 3365 FIELD EXPERIENCE 3....................................... 2 CREDITS

This is two-credit-hour lab that must be completed as a clinical experience in the public school setting. The clinical experience will be 75 clock hours and allow the teacher candidate the opportunity to apply and reflect on his/her content, professional and pedagogical knowledge, skills and dispositions. In addition, the teacher candidate will be provided with experiences that allow for immersion in the learning community so that s/he is able to demonstrate proficiency in the professional role for which s/he is preparing. This is a co-requisite with EDUC 3340 Instructional Design II and EDUC 3351 Inclusive Practices. * Field Experiences 2 and 3 are sequential and cannot be taken in the same term.EDUC 2203 and EDUC 2240 must be completed prior to Field Experience 2.

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE – STUDENT TEACHING 16 WEEKS Student teaching is required in all programs. Students must complete student teaching or comparable experience at state required developmental levels and in all of the teaching specializations for which they expect to be licensed. At the present time, placements are made at the Professional Development Schools (PDS), which encompass public schools in a six county area. All such experiences are cooperatively administered by college and public school personnel. Student teaching is comprehensive immersion into the public school setting at two developmental levels. Teacher candidates apply and reflect on content, professional, and pedagogical knowledge, skills and dispositions required of a teacher. During this experience, teacher candidates will design and implement an action research project to demonstrate its effect on student learning. West Virginia Department of Education Policy 5100 requires that teacher candidates pass the PRAXIS II content area tests prior to

placement in the student teacher clinical experience. Due to the uniqueness of the off-campus student teaching experience, a candidate may be administratively removed if there is cause.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS TO STUDENT TEACHING To participate in student teaching, a teacher candidate must apply for and receive a student teaching permit as required by the West Virginia Department of Education. In addition, the student must meet the requirements listed below: • All general studies requirements of the University as well as the minimum requirements of the teaching specialization must be completed before student teaching can be scheduled. • Be officially admitted to teacher education. • Complete all required hours with a minimum grade point average of 2.75 overall in education foundation and professional education courses, and each teaching specialization. All courses in the teaching specialization (major) must be completed prior to admission to Student Teaching. • Have a grade of “C“ or better in all EDUC classes. • Be willing to adhere to the West Virginia Teacher Code of Conduct with regard to dispositional behaviors. • Successful completion of the appropriate PRAXIS II Specialty Area Test beginning Fall 2017 academic year.

PRAXIS II Successful completion of the appropriate PRAXIS II Specialty Area test(s) and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT)are requirements for licensure. A report of the Specialty Area Test(s) and PLT scores must accompany the application for licensure to the West Virginia Department of Education. If the test scores do not meet the state minimum score, the application must be held pending receipt of acceptable scores. Candidates should keep in mind that a denial of licensure at the time of graduation may subject them to changes in program requirements if they seek licensure later. Early/Middle Education. Candidates expecting to be licensed for Elementary Education K-6 and an academic specialization must achieve acceptable scores in both areas. Middle/Adolescent Education. Candidates expecting to be licensed for teaching in grades 5-Adult or 9-Adult must take the Specialty Area Test consistent with the specialization(s) to be named on the license. If they expect to be licensed in two specializations, they must achieve acceptable scores in both specializations. Pre K-Adult Education. A candidate expecting to be licensed for teaching in grades Pre K-Adult must achieve acceptable scores on the Specialty Area Test consistent with the Pre K-Adult specialization to be named on the license.

EDUCATION

This is a one-credit-hour lab that must be completed as a clinical experience in the public school setting. This clinical experience will be 30 clock hours and allow the teacher candidate the opportunity to apply and reflect on his/her content, professional and pedagogical knowledge, skills, and dispositions. This is a co-requisite with EDUC 2260 Instructional Design I.

The School of Education, Health and Human Performance offers a minor for interested bachelor‘s degree students. It is a valuable option for students who have an interest in teaching in their major field (e.g. math, biology, etc.) in the future but do not wish to pursue teacher certification at this time. Students can complete their major with an education minor during the normal four-year sequence and then return to complete the requirements for becoming licensed to teach in their respective field(s). Teacher candidates are advised to complete the appropriate Special Methods course in addition to the minor if available, (e.g., Math 4531 for a Math major, ENGL 4431 for an English major, etc.). All course prerequisites, including formal admission to teacher education, are required for the minor. Interested students should contact the Dean of Teacher Education, who serves as the advisor for the minor.

The Studio Art Program is designed for students who wish to concentrate on a specific studio discipline in the visual arts. The program requires a Foundations level of course work, which focuses on skill-building, exposure to various media, and art history. The Foundations level is followed by intense study in the chosen discipline. Three tracks are available: Drawing/Painting; Pottery/Sculpture; and Cross/Electronic Media. Additionally, the department offers optional gallery management opportunities. The program is appropriate for students who wish to work as independent artists, those who are interested in the M.A.T. with a concentration in Visual Art, and for those who wish to continue their education in Visual Art at the graduate level. Yearly portfolio reviews are required for continuation in the program.

The intent of this track is to allow students to design a curriculum that includes traditional and electronic media. Students will work with an advisor to gear choices to the nature of the work to be pursued. In addition to courses included in the Foundations Curriculum, students may choose from 2-Dimensional, 3-Dimensional or Cross / Electronic media courses in the Art Department:

General Studies / 129


General Studies The general studies curriculum ensures that students possess a wide range of skills and knowledge to enhance their lives after graduation. The knowledge, skills, and abilities obtained through general studies transcend specific disciplines and are valued by employers at all levels and by society in general. Fairmont State University supports a general studies curriculum so that our students appreciate the diversity of disciplines as they discover possibilities in their interdependence. The skills and knowledge obtained by completing general studies courses provide students with the necessary tools to be productive employees, leaders, and citizens. The categories were designed to incorporate the foundational knowledge and skills that have enduring societal value and to prepare students to survive and thrive in a complex, diverse, and dramatically changing world. A large portion of the skills and knowledge Fairmont State University expects its students to have when they graduate comes from general studies courses. Students must complete at least one course in each of the following general studies categories: 1. – Critical Analysis 2. – Quantitative Literacy 3. – Written Communication 4. – Teamwork 5. – Information Literacy 6. – Technology Literacy 7. – Oral Communication 8. – Citizenship 9. – Ethics 10. – Health and Well-being 11. – Interdisciplinary and Lifelong Learning 12. – Fine Arts 13. – Humanities 14. – Social Sciences 15. – Natural Sciences 16. – Cultural Awareness and Human Dignity

• Students must complete at least 30 hours of coursework outside of their major as determined by the course prefix. Academic units may select courses for majors to fulfill certain categories as long as the 30 hours of coursework outside of the major is achievable. • Students may use a single course to satisfy no more than 2 categories. • Students must complete 6 hours of Written English (ENGL 1101 and either ENGL 1102 or 1103, as determined by their academic program)with a grade of ‘C’ or higher. These courses may also be used to fulfill any additional category for which they have been approved. • Students must complete 3 hours (single course or multiple courses) to fulfill Outcome 12 – Fine Arts. Students should choose courses to fulfill categories by using FSU’s degree audit knowledge program DegreeWorks in concert with program requirements and course prerequisites. Students are encouraged to ALWAYS check with their assigned advisor before registering for courses.
